How to Shut Off a Samsung Phone

By Michelle Skidgel

Samsung Electronics, which began in Korea, has provided consumers with the latest technology in appliances for more than 70 years. As a cell phone manufacturer, Samsung makes flip phones, bar and slider phones, and touchscreen smartphones. Although the act of shutting off a Samsung phone varies slightly among models, the process is similar for all styles.

Step 1

Press and hold the "End" button on your Samsung bar or slider phone, if it has a stationary touch pad. Keep the button depressed for approximately five seconds, until the screen goes dark. This button may be labeled "End" or "Power," and it may be red in color. Alternatively, it may have an icon that looks like a circle with a line through its center. It is also the button you push to end calls.

Step 2

Press and hold the "End" button on your Samsung flip phone. Keep the button depressed for at least two seconds, until the screen goes dark. This button may be labeled "End" or "Power," and it will likely be red in color. It is the button you push to end calls.

Step 3

Press and hold the power button on your Samsung touchscreen smartphone. The power button is likely on the upper right edge of the phone, and will have an icon that looks like a circle with a vertical line through the center. When a menu appears on the screen, touch "Power Off" to shut the phone off.
